Huntsville Middle School

Summary:

Huntsville Middle School is a public middle school in Huntsville, Arkansas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 472 students. The school is part of the Huntsville School District, which is ranked 159 out of 252 districts in Arkansas and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Huntsville Middle School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from a high of 24th out of 280 Arkansas middle schools in 2013-2014 to 203rd out of 335 in the current 2023-2024 school year. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (23.9%), Reading (25.3%), and Mathematics (34.6%) are all lower than the state and district averages. Compared to nearby schools, Elkins Middle School consistently outperforms Huntsville Middle School in academic subjects. Additionally, Huntsville Middle School has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, with 66.95% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average.

While Huntsville Middle School's per-student spending of $8,595 in 2018-2019 is lower than the per-student spending of $10,360 at Sonora Middle School, the school's student-teacher ratio has improved over the years, decreasing from 13 in 2020-2021 to 10.9 in 2022-2023, which is lower than the ratios at Sonora Middle School (12.2) and Elkins Middle School (16.7). However, the school's declining academic performance and the high proportion of economically disadvantaged students suggest that the school and district may need to implement targeted interventions and explore ways to better support the needs of their student population.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
